When I decided to give up grains I did it in stages and when at the
final stage, I couldn't eat out at my parents' place for a few weeks,
because my childhood = grains, especially sugary breakfast cereal.  I
think I still wanted love from my parents and they show their love
using food.  It is like we needed to find a different way to
demonstrate love.  :)  (I demonstate my love for them by sharing my homemade
trout jerky. ;)

Now I go over there for meals and it works somehow, even though I
don't eat the bread, chips, etc.   I feel that
because my diet is so satisfying/filling (meat and fat) I don't have the
swings and cravings that might make me eat something that would make
me feel sick.
